Where it is weaker

Recorded with the same care as the capabilities, and not softened. A comparison that only lists strengths is not a comparison.

  • Does not lodge reports to AUSTRAC and does not decide whether a report should be filed, stated in the vendor's own FAQ.
  • Does not provide compliance advice or case judgments.
  • Program design, independent review and legal interpretation explicitly listed as things the customer needs elsewhere.
  • GST treatment not stated anywhere on the pricing page.

Reading a spec strip

  • Verifiedconfirmed on the provider’s own site
  • Partialpresent but limited or conditional
  • Absentthe product does not do it
  • Not establishedwe could not confirm either way

Each bar runs one segment per capability, in the same order on every board, so two providers compare by position. A hatched segment means the field is unfilled, not that the product lacks the capability — around half of all capability fields on this site are currently unestablished, and a blank would read as “no” and misrepresent a real business. Show all opens the full list in place.

Where this came from

The clearest self-disclosure of scope boundaries of any vendor researched. Its FAQ states plainly what the product does not do: lodge reports, determine suspicion, give advice, design programs, conduct independent review. That is honest positioning and should be read as such rather than as deficiency.

Unusual commercial model: verification is customer-paid, and those payments credit back against the subscription. The vendor claims a 3-user agency needs four verifications a month to fully offset its licence fee.

Entity registered March 2026, three months before Tranche 2 commenced.

Data residency is mixed: AWS Sydney primary with stated overseas authentication and payment providers, plus DR replication to a secondary region.

Compared with

Side-by-side against the products this one is most often weighed up against. Each comparison states first whether the two are even the same kind of thing.

Is this your product?

You can correct a factual error, supply evidence for a field marked not established, or add detail. A limitation is corrected when it is wrong, and stays when it is accurate but unwelcome.
